While the crypto markets suffocate in shock from Trump's customs taxes, a new actor enters the scene: David Sacks, the man who whispers in the ear of AI and digital active ingredients. On February 4, this Shadow strategist will reveal the Washington battle plan to regain control of a space in full chaos. Between historical crash and geopolitical war, America plays its all-out.
Trump, Taxes and Krach Crypto: the noose tightens
Trump's announcements did not do lace: 25 % taxes on Mexico and Canada, 10 % on China. Result ? An earthquake on the markets. Bitcoin plunged under $ 100,000, while the XRP and Cardano collapsed by 17 % and 22 % in 24 hours. Even Trump's portfolio, irony, has lost 20 % of its value. A widespread purge, with 8 to 10 billion dollars liquidated according to Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit.
Does the brutal fall relaunches a burning debate: has Bitcoin become an asset at risk, dependent on the whims of geopolitics?
For Amit Kukreja, crypto influencer, the answer is clear: *”Cryptos are not a refuge value. Their prices dance to the rhythm of global liquidity … and it dries up. »* An icing observation, which buries the utopia from a market disconnected from traditional turbulence.
Stock markets and cryptos unscrew in tandem. Proof that the border between Tradfi and Defi crumbles. Algorithms, eager for liquidity, transform each presidential tweet into a tidal wave. And the next wave could be even more violent: from February 18, Trump threatens to tax the EU, oil, steel … enough to suffocate investors a little more.
February 4: America counterattack with Sacks in figurehead
In this chaos, David Sacks embodies the hope of a reboot. His conference of February 4 Will not be a simple speech: it is a manifesto. Objective ? “Consolidate US domination in the digital space”, according to sources close to the congress. On the menu: a clear regulatory framework, public-private partnerships … and an offensive to marginalize China and Europe.
Biden administration is focusing on a double language. On the one hand, protect investors (via safeguards against abuse). On the other, stimulating innovation to keep Silicon Valley in mind.
Sacks knows: who controls the story controls the market. By associating Crypto and AI (two areas under his thumb), he built a narration made in USA-techno-optimist, but under surveillance.
February 4 promises to be a turning point. While traders haunt their portfolios with the collapse of 25 percent for XRP, David Sacks is preparing the future. His weapon? A strategy where regulation rhymes with domination.
